Technical Support / Re: small partical in water

Since you say the debris is specific to only the vanity sink, I reckon I’d work backwards from there by first unscrewing the aerator on that faucet and seeing if some contaminant has lodged there, and is slowly leaching off micro particles.  But that said, it may not be a valid suggestion if you’re not getting debris with the vanity’s cold side also. 🫤

Do you have a propane hot water heater or an Aquahot/ hydro hot ?

What you may be seeing is hard water deposits ( calcium like that in a kettle ) that have precipitated out in the water heater and migrated through the water system
It will collect in the aerator of the bathroom and kitchen faucets.

If it is a propane  or electric ( tank type heater ) you can remove the drain plug and flush the sediment out of the tank , vinegar will help break down the
Calcium build up and aid in flushing out the build up
Remove the aerators and flush the supply lines.

Hope this helps

As I turn on the hot water in the vanity sink. I see little rocks and small particles in the water. I turn on the shower and the kitchen sink and they do not appear. Does anyone know what the issue is and how to repair it?

If your going to try to fill it from the plug in the side of the reservoir take that plug out slowly to make sure it is above the fluid level or you may have a mess to clean up.

If I can fill it from there it is easy to get to I’ll just have to get a small pump and hose. I know it’s low because the alarm goes off when going down hill. Thanks for the info.

Chuck,

Mine also has a allen head plug with out the plastic cover.  Hard to get in there,but a long thin funnel or a large syringe work for me.  I have not had to add any fluid in the last couple of years.  When it started loosing fluid I had all 3 jacks rebuilt as well as at least one new valve.  Hopefully it will be problem free for a long while.

Mine is mounted vertically as well .
With a light you may be able to see the vent plug by looking from the battery bay .
As I mentioned before the vent is on the top of the reservoir where the pump motor mounts to the reservoir.

Ok thanks for the pic in that link that’s what I got but it is mounted vertically and the top is almost touching the top of the floor. I’m got to get under there and see if I can locate the fill cap ..there is a plug that you remove with a Allen wrench where the cap and filler is on the link you sent me..

Many of the Magnum chassis used an RVA hydraulic leveling system
there should be a black plastic vent cap that unscrews from a brass adapter it can either be in the side of the reservoir or on top of the reservoir, on our coach it faces up on the top of the reservoir   beside the hydraulic manifold closes to the passenger side of the coach.
However it could be mounted on the side as well ,
The fact you have a pipe plug in the side of the reservoir tells me yours is likely the same as mine in the top of the reservoir.

Here is a link to an RVA pump with the vent fill plug mounted in the side of the reservoir it gives you an idea what the vent cap should look like
